Considering our Country's economic climate it seems that the "independent entrepreneur" has many problems to overcome beyond the rent our or any developer may charge. Busness insurance, employer matching FICA & Medicare, workmans compensation, etc., not withstanding the potential of a $15/hour minimum wage put a lot of stress in the faces of an independent business. Considering all these factors the completed Spanish Springs and LSL have a great mix of independents. I believe the developer is attemting to attract the entrepreneur keeping a reasonable mix of business types to enhance their chance at success. Brownwood will fill in just fine. Take a look next year at this time.
